Quick Answer
Certain tree stands can indeed provide better protection from insects, particularly those with a solid, enclosed design or a netting system to keep bugs out.
Tree Stand Design and Insect Protection
When selecting a tree stand for insect protection, look for stands with a solid, enclosed design or a netting system. The Tethrd Stratos Tree Stand, for example, features a durable, enclosed structure with a bug-screened roof that provides excellent protection from biting insects. This stand also has a wide, stable platform for comfortable hunting.
Insect-Repellent Materials and Treatments
Some tree stands are made with insect-repellent materials or treated with insecticides. The Summit 180 Tree Stand, for instance, features a durable aluminum frame and a comfortable, cushioned seat, as well as a bug-repellent coating that can help deter insects. Look for stands with these features to minimize bug bites and discomfort.
Netting Systems and Insect Protection
Another approach to insect protection is the use of netting systems. The Lone Wolf Ladder Stand, for example, features a bug-netting system that can be installed over the stand’s platform to keep insects at bay. This system is easy to install and can be removed when not in use, making it a versatile option for hunters who need to minimize bug bites.
